![]() ![]() It has a very colored sound that most people getting into vinyl will enjoy. Luckily, the Victrola Revolution Go is fairly accurate here.īut, it's the sound quality that keeps me from saying it’s great. And, more importantly, they may not maintain a constant speed. Sometimes they’ll play too fast or too slow. Of course, the first issue with cheaper record players is the speed at which they play records. The overall performance of the Victrola Revolution Go is very good, if not quite great. ![]() (Image credit: James Holland) Victrola Revolution Go review: performance The built-in speaker also offers voice notifications of mode and battery level whenever you turn the Revolution Go on (though it will only say full, medium, or low instead of actual percentages). It’s a nice, if somewhat niche, feature that makes sense if you have access to a larger Bluetooth-enabled sound system and want to connect a turntable.Ī few other details of note with the Victrola Revolution Go include its removable lid which has five slots on the inside, letting you display your vinyl. Speaking of, Vinyl Stream is a somewhat unique concept where you can use the functionality of the turntable while using an external speaker system via Bluetooth. Pairing is incredibly simple with the latter two modes. And, pressing it will let you cycle through three connectivity modes: Vinyl, Vinyl Stream, and Bluetooth mode. Holding it down for two seconds will turn the turntable on and off. There’s one large knob to control power, volume and connectivity modes situated near the front of the turntable. It also comes with a RCA line-level and headphones out if you want to connect external speakers or a pair of headphones. You have a lever to lift and lower the tone arm, a selector to switch between the three speeds to play 33,45, and 78, and a selector to toggle auto-off when the needle gets to the end of a record. While you could easily upgrade the stylus to something more expensive, the included AT-3600LA is more than good enough.Īs far as physical controls go, there’s not much in the way of automation here. The Revolution Go is a belt-driven turntable, ideal for anyone not planning on using one for a DJ gig, and uses an easily replaceable Audio Technica AT-3600LA stylus. It’s a bit thicker than a typical record player – it houses two 5-watt drivers and a rechargeable lithium battery – but its length and width are smaller than you’ll find on most record players, lending itself for use in smaller spaces as well as for easy portability. Not only is th Revolution Go portable, complete with a handle that’s easy to tuck away, a guitar strap for over-the-shoulder carry, and a storage compartment for the power supply, it also comes with three different speeds to play records at, a converter to use with wide-holed 45s (which is usually a separate purchase), and three different audio modes: Vinyl, Vinyl Streaming, Bluetooth. You can’t fault Victrola for skimping on its design or features. (Image credit: James Holland) Victrola Revolution Go review: design and features ![]()
